The services that Amazon is offering to anyone and everyone are pretty incredible. To imagine with a few bucks I could fire up a group of servers on another continent to do processing that I specifically ask it to do when I want it to do the work. Unfortunately I think that Amazon is a bit ahead of its time and that the turkish robot and web services are beyond the scope of most large businesses, but it does give businesses of today the ability to plan around services like this being available in the future.
I could see myself using these services to run batch processes and calculations that are run on an infrequent schedule, that way I don't have to maintain the servers in house or maintain a contract with a provider for a service that I only use occasionally and temporarily.
As far as making money on the site I don't see myself doing little tasks for two to twenty cents apiece and feeling like I had really accomplished anything. These repetitive tasks that appear on the list should be figured out with game based processing or some other kind of way of receiving input as opposed to paying random stratified people for really just wasting their time.
